    Why cant NZ water scientists speak up for using Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) rather than the toxic cancer causing chlorine in our water supply as other countries do so widely now.

    Wake up NZ remember when we were really “clean-green?

    Quote;
    H2O2 is Widely Used
    Since it was first commercialized in the 1800’s, hydrogen peroxide production has now grown to over a billion pounds per year (as 100%). In addition to pollution control, hydrogen peroxide is used to bleach textiles and paper products, and to manufacture or process foods, minerals, petrochemicals, and consumer products (detergents). Its use for pollution control parallels those of the movement itself — municipal wastewater applications in the 1970’s; industrial waste/wastewater applications in the 1980’s; and more recently, air applications in the 1990’s. Today, hydrogen peroxide is readily available throughout the U.S. in drum, tote, mini-bulk, and bulk quantities in concentrations of 35% or 50% by weight.

    This is Hydrogen Peroxide
    Hydrogen Peroxide Powerful OxidizerAs simple as it may seem, the treatment of contaminated waters is as diverse and complicated as the operations from which it comes. In today’s environment, where merely transferring contaminants from one medium to another is no longer acceptable, it is no surprise that a powerful oxidizer like hydrogen peroxide that looks like water — in its appearance, chemical formula and reaction products — should be so widely used. This is hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) — a powerful yet versatile oxidant that is both safe and effective.

      • This is sad to witness as we turn our backs on our seniors who paid taxes all their lives and now are treated like lowly members of our society with a pittance to live on $9 dollars a day!!!!!!!

        Pensioner Poverty rife in New Zealand

        Press Release: NZ Seniors Party
        Pensioner Poverty rife in New Zealand
        We hear from our Government about child poverty levels in New Zealand, but nothing about Pensioner Poverty? Pensioners are the ‘forgotten generation’ who have worked all their lives, paid taxes, brought up kids, clothed and fed them and now find they themselves are living in poverty.

        Child poverty has nothing to do with the kids, it is their parents that need educating. They need to take responsibility and not play the system by asking someone else to feed and clothe their children. Yes, there are those who are genuine cases and it is they who deserve all the help and assistance they can get.

        The minimum wage, on a 40hr week, in New Zealand is $15.75/hr or $630 gross per week but a single pensioner is supposed to live on $9.75/hr or $390.20 gross before tax.

        Living and food costs are the same for pensioners as everyone else, but the pensioner is forced to live on $240 a week less – WHY?
        Pensioners deserve more than just to exist, they deserve a ‘living wage’ to be able to enjoy life without worrying how they are going to pay their bills.

        No doubt this will not suit the millennials who believe Seniors had it easy and that they are now having to pay for them but ‘News Flash’ who paid to bring the millennials up? They too will grow old and who will be paying for them – the next generation!

        There are over 700.000 pensioners in New Zealand, many living in poverty, so the question must be asked – what is our Government going to do for them?
